HIBBING â The Ice Cream Truck is making people smile all across the Range, and owners Trent and Janelle Janezich of Hibbing and their sons Brady and Charlie are loving it.
It s a business, Trent Janezich told the Mesabi Tribune, but to us it is more than that. It is a social enterprise. It is a fun and sometimes funny way of getting people together, building community, creating laughter and enjoyment in people s lives, sharing in conversation. I can t describe how fun, and sometimes funny, it is to drive the truck down the street and see people s expressions, mouths agape at what they just saw. We get a kick out of that. Coming out of COVID-10 pandemic, it is a good opportunity to build our community back up again to being more social. So we park the truck sometimes at a local park.. families, Little Leaguers, city band, people on the basketball courts all come by the truck and grab a treat.they mill around and chat..they get to know one another again.
